The Visioneers with Zay Harding

Zay Harding explores future tech, visiting Miami to learn about sea level solutions, Scotland's Orkney Islands for tidal power plants, and meets young ocean protectors who surf.

Host Zay Harding is on a mission to find Visioneers who are changing the world. First up, Maya Penn is revolutionizing clothing with eco-fashion. She'll give Zay a crash-course in sustainable clothing that keeps people - and our planet - looking fantastic. Then, Zay will tackle the growing threat of plastics and discover how one ingenious company is cleaning up our landfills. And later, we'll marvel at a gardening robot that loves raspberries - and meet the Visioneers who keep it pickin'.

Zay Harding explores Florida's coral reef restoration, diving to plant lab-grown coral and create marine habitats. He meets a teen protecting oceans through oyster conservation and a Visioneer building a time machine.

Join Zay Harding as he explores the forefront of ingenuity, from a young innovator's quest to detect tornadoes using a drone, to the World's largest Earth Science experiment, and finally, to a family farm dedicated to cultivating the next generation of crops.

Zay Harding explores UK entrepreneurs using AI robots for recycling. Copenhagen showcases urban sustainability with clean initiatives, rooftop gardens, and waste-to-energy programs.

Zay Harding explores alternative power from San Diego to Norway. He tests a 110 mph solar car and visits Scandinavia to see efforts to create the first zero-emissions cruise ship.

Zay Harding explores Iceland's water power and geothermal energy uses, meets someone reviving traditional food preservation, and sees future sustainable food innovations.

Follow Zay Harding as he uncovers the sustainable secrets within a New York City icon, then his journey takes him to the UK to witness the development of a groundbreaking vertical air taxis. And finally, prepare for a surprising reveal of the sustainable initiatives flourishing in an unexpected location: the National Theatre.

Follow Zay Harding as he encounters visionary innovators who are finding answers in the most unexpected places: the flight of drones, the grace of whale sharks, and the simple brilliance of the natural world. Witness their inspiring work towards a sustainable future.

Host Zay Harding hits the beach to join a group of junior Visioneers who safeguard our oceans - by surfing the waves. Then he encounters two entrepreneurs pioneering a novel approach to recycling with the aid of some AI robots. And off the coast of Florida, Zay dives under the waves to join a group of Visioneers who are creating new marine habitats for generations to come.

Zay Harding explores indoor ocean technology in San Diego, meets Maya Penn's eco-friendly fashion revolution, and discovers innovative sea level solutions in Miami.

Join host Zay Harding in The Visioneers as Copenhagen’s CopenHill/ARC flips sustainability on its head: a waste-to-energy plant that’s part power station, part playground. Architect Jesper shows how the rooftop doubles as an urban ski slope and the world’s tallest artificial climbing wall, inviting citizens to literally ride the energy they create right in the city center. It’s beautiful, interactive, and educational: a visible proof-point that clean infrastructure doesn’t have to be a distant gray box, but a destination that helps people learn how the waste-burning process actually works.

Join host Zay Harding in The Visioneers as community nonprofit Plastic Beach tackles the gnarly challenge of soft plastics the wrappers, films, and bags that jam traditional recyclers—by collecting from local retailers, compressing hundreds of pounds into dense bales, and sending them to second lives in asphalt roads, pallets, and decking. It’s hands-on, hey-this-works circularity: weekly pickups prevent ocean-bound microplastics, balers turn fluff into shippable blocks, and waste becomes durable infrastructure instead of landfill fodder.
